Dress making is fun and a great skill to have. Dress making skills and knowledge (in design and machining) advance your quilt making!
Dress making is much easier and more fun than you think when it comes to stimulation to the mind. Many thought it was hard in following a pattern - that is because you don't know the essence of dress making - it is all about human body, not about sizes or shapes. You may have been taught otherwise. The fact of the matter is it is dead easy. Absolute simplicity is the best to bring out elegance.
